[ovirt-users] GFS2 and OCFS2 for Shared Storage

[Pavel Gashev]

Fernando,

oVirt supports thin provisioning for shared block storages (DAS or iSCSI). It works using QCOW2 disk images directly on LVM volumes. oVirt extends volumes when QCOW2 is growing.

I tried GFS2. It's slow, and blocks other hosts on a host failure.

Has anyone managed to use GFS2 or OCFS2 for Shared Block Storage between 
hosts ? How scalable was it and which of the two work better ?

Using traditional CLVM is far from good starting because of the lack of 
Thinprovision so I'm willing to consider either of the Filesystems.

Thanks

Fernando
